Dear Cu󰘵omers,
Thank you for purchasing a B’TWIN electrically-assi󰘵ed bike. It will introduce you
to the joys of travelling on 2 wheels for your leisure, it will be the mo󰘵 practical and
economical way for you to get around in town and will allow you to burn calories to
keep 󰘰t.
We invite you to read this in󰘵ruction manual to get the mo󰘵 out of your B’TWIN elec-
trically-assi󰘵ed bike.
Never forget that an electrically-assi󰘵ed bike is not a moped. It needs your help to
go further, fa󰘵er and longer.
We sugge󰘵 that you learn how to use your electrically-assi󰘵ed bike in an open
area in order to get used to the feel of the motor kicking in and thus ensure optimum
control of your bicycle.
Only use sport mode for your 󰘰r󰘵 kilometres if you are sure that you are able to
control your bike.
Here are the 10 commandments to get the be󰘵 use of your B’TWIN electrically-as-
si󰘵ed bicycle.
Electrically assi󰘵ed bicycles are heavier than classic pushbikes. Without assi󰘵ance,
pedalling can be harder.
You mu󰘵 always make sure you are capable of riding the entire journey without as-
si󰘵ance, in case your battery runs 󰘱at.
Important, this in󰄋ruction manual only applies to the electrical characteris-
tics of your bicycle. You mu󰄋 refer to the B’TWIN user guide and warranty
in󰄋ructions that are shared by all of our bikes and which are provided with
this document. They can also be found on our website at www.btwin.com or
reque󰄋ed at our DECATHLON 󰄋ores.

General operation of the electrical assi󰄋ance
The electrically-assi󰘵ed bike can be used with or without assi󰘵ance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
Always lock the battery with the key when in use. The electrical assi󰘵ance will only operate if you pe-
dal. The assi󰘵ance will switch o󰘯 the moment either of the two brake levers is depressed or the speed
reaches more than 25 km/h. It will then re󰘵art automatically when below 23 km/h. In order to preserve
battery life, the bike is equipped with a «power» limiter that limits assi󰘵ance when the motor is under
heavy 󰘵rain. During intensive use and in exceptional weather conditions, the assi󰘵ance may switch
o󰘯 to safeguard the entire sy󰘵em.

As the weight of your bike with electric assi󰘵ance exceeds
15kg, we recommend that 2 persons transport it.
Always wear a helmet when riding your bike.
These electric bikes are designed for persons aged 14 and
over.
Caution: in rain, fro󰘵, or snow, you may have less tyre
traction.

14
The bicycle mu󰘵 be parked with its kick󰘵and on 󰘱at,
󰘵able ground or using a parking device.
Maintenance
Warning - the maintenance of electrical components re-
quires special skills and is not carried in 󰘵ores but in De-
cathlon regional workshops and can take several days.
All cleaning and electrical or mechanical maintenance
mu󰘵 be carried out with the power switched o󰘯 and the
battery removed from the bike!
Maintenance operations speci󰘰c to the electric sy󰘵em
mu󰘵 be performed by trained, quali󰘰ed 󰘵a󰘯. If the chain
comes o󰘯, turn the power o󰘯 before attempting any re-
pairs.
NB: the weight of the bicycle may exceed that of your as-
sembly 󰘵and or bicycle rack.

We advise you to bring your electrically-assi󰘵ed bike back
to your DECATHLON 󰘵ore for its 6-month service.
You mu󰘵 refer to the B’twin user guide and warranty ins-
tructions that are shared by all of our bikes and which are
provided with this document. They can also be found on

ensure they are intact.
The motorised wheel is also subject to higher 󰘵ress than
a 󰘵andard bike wheel, and although it is reinforced, it is
possible that spokes may break. If a spoke breaks, contact
your DECATHLON 󰘵ore.
If the bike or battery su󰘯ers a fall, check that your battery
is intact.
Caution: the watertightness of your battery is no longer
guaranteed following a fall.

Contents of the commercial warranty for your electrical-
ly-assi󰄋ed bike
Please ensure that you keep your invoice as proof of purchase.
The bike frame is covered under a lifetime warranty and a 2-year warranty covers parts subject to normal wear.
The warranty does not cover damage resulting from misuse, from a failure to respect the precautions for use, from acci-
dents, from improper use or from commercial use of the bike.
This bike is for personal use only and not for professional use.
The warranty does not cover damage resulting from repairs carried out by persons not authorised by Decathlon.
Each electronic component is permanently sealed. Opening one of these components (battery, battery sheath, controller,
screen, motor) may cause physical injury to persons or damage to the sy󰘵em. Opening or modifying a component in the
sy󰘵em will void the warranty for the bike. The warranty does not cover cracked or broken screens showing visible signs of
impacts.
FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON B’twin BIKES, purchased as of 1 June 2013.
B’twin brand bikes are products designed to provide complete satisfaction to their users. For this reason,
B’twin wishes to commit to the quality and durability of its bikes.
Within this context, B’twin o󰘯ers its clients a lifetime warranty which exclusively covers the following noncarbon parts:
frames, rigid forks (non-suspension forks), handlebars and 󰘵ems 󰘰tted to B’twin brand bikes. This warranty begins on the
date of purchase of (a) B’twin brand bike(s).
It is speci󰘰ed that, for the lifetime warranty to be valid, the buyer mu󰘵:
either have a DECATHLON 󰘵ore loyalty card and regi󰘵er his/her purchase on it at the time of checkout,
or complete the warranty certi󰘰cate available online on the www.btwin.com site within one month of the purchase date. Du-
ring this regi󰘵ration, the buyer mu󰘵 provide the following information: la󰘵 name, 󰘰r󰘵 name, purchase date, e-mail address,
and bicycle tracking number.
By virtue of this warranty, B’twin o󰘯ers either the replacement by an equivalent of the frame, rigid fork, handlebars or 󰘵em,
or their repair, within a reasonable time period, after being brought to a DECATHLON retail 󰘵ore repair shop. It is speci󰘰ed
that travel and transportation co󰘵s remain the responsibility of the cu󰘵omer.
However, this contractual obligation will not apply in the event of poor maintenance or misuse of B’twin bikes, as de󰘰ned in
the user manual of the product in que󰘵ion.
To bene󰘰t from the warranty covering one of the parts li󰘵ed above, you mu󰘵 simply visit the repair shop of a DECATHLON
retail 󰘵ore, bringing either your DECATHLON 󰘵ore loyalty card or your warranty certi󰘰cate with you.
B’twin reserves the right to verify that all conditions of the lifetime warranty have been met and to implement all due neces-
sary measures to verify this.
It is also speci󰘰ed that the lifetime warranty does not exclude the application of the legal guarantee(s) provided for under the
French Consumer Code (Code de la consommation) and Civil Code (Code civil), namely:
- Article L. 211-4 of the Consumer Code: «The seller mu󰘵 deliver goods in conformity with the contract and take responsibi-
lity for any lack of conformity present at the time of delivery. The seller is also held liable for any lack of conformity caused by
the packaging, the assembly in󰘵ructions or the in󰘵allation if he/she was made responsible for the latter under the contract
or if it was conducted under his/her responsibility».
- Article L. 211-5 of the Consumer Code: «To be compliant with the contract, goods mu󰘵:
1. Be suitable for the use normally expected for similar goods and, if necessary:
- match the description provided by the seller and possess the qualities that he/she presented to the buyer in the form of a
sample or a model;
- display the qualities that a buyer can legitimately expect in view of public 󰘵atements made by the seller, the producer, or
his/her representative, notably in advertising or labelling;
2. Or display the features de󰘰ned by a mutual agreement between the parties or be suitable for any special use sought by
the buyer, made known to, and agreed upon by, the seller».
- Article L. 211-12 of the Consumer Code: «Legal action prompted by lack of conformity lapses two years after the date of
delivery of the goods.»
- Article 1641 of the Civil Code: «The seller is bound to the warranty on account of hidden defects of the item sold which
render it un󰘰t for the use for which it was intended, or which so impair that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or
would only have paid a lesser price for it, had he/she been aware of them.
- Article 1648 paragraph 1 of the Civil Code: «Legal action prompted by unacceptable defects mu󰘵 be brought by the buyer
within a period of two years from the date of discovery of the defect».
